ABSTRACT.
Shewanella algae is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus that inhabits marine ecosystems and can cause sepsis in humans. This case report describes an 80-year-old obese woman with liver cirrhosis who presented with neurological and respiratory impairment. Shewanella algae were isolated in the blood cultures. Due to age and comorbidities, sepsis could be the cause of the patient’s fatal outcome. Shewanella algae infection is a risk for immunocompromised people in the tropics.
